Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about. 

First and foremost, I'd like to apologize to spring for having ranked it last in my hierarchy of seasons. My lack of love for floral patterns and most pastel colors hindered its chance to place higher on my list, but this year, spring is shaping up to be a very chic season. After looking through the latest arrivals at Shopbop, Madewell, and Anthropologie, I'm thoroughly impressed. Cropped utility jackets, barrel-leg jeans, and belts with sculptural silver details are about to be my wardrobe heroes. And in terms of footwear, flat shoes will continue to get all the love. Below, you'll find a selection of sandals, ballet flats, and the Birkentock-style clogs that are already en route to my apartment. Keep scrolling to shop the chic finds that have changed my mind about spring style.
